speaking of zanesville, ohio

ok, so i was startled to read this morning about a lawsuit that awarded multi-millions to a black neighborhood east of zanesville, one in which the county deliberately failed to lay water pipes to the area until 2003......forcing the residents to collect rain water in order to drink or bathe.....omg......i have blood kin who was an elected county official in the 70's and into the 80's....the notion that he was part and parcel to this sort of discrimination is troubling.....
